Lucia's career in the construction and building materials sector spans over 20 years working with national brands. The first 10 years was in market research with Rigby Research (now MRA Research) where Lucia developed to become Managing Director of MRA Marketing, leading the business to be the No 1 strategic marketing and research agency in construction.

In 2021 Lucia moved on to switch from agency life to in-house in order to focus her experience and skills on one business, joining Encon & Nevill Long. Lucia joined as Group Marketing Strategy & Communications Director, part of the senior team to drive the company’s position as the Employer of Choice and Distributor of Choice for its markets.

Lucia's passion lies in strategy and market analysis.

"I’m incredibly passionate about our sector, it’s a fantastic people industry and with so much to learn and experience. The Builders’ Merchants Awards reflect the scale of excellence across building materials supply, rewarding initiative, commitment and the hard work of individuals and businesses. Entries represent outstanding accomplishments and showcase the important contribution of our sector to wider construction. It’s an honour to be part of the judging panel this year".
